A dull moment

My friend Gray wrote me: "I'm vicariously exhausted, just reading your blog!" He wondered if my life ever had a dull moment.

As a matter of fact, I did get somewhat caught up and took Nick on an overnight trip to our good friends in Citrus Heights. We barged in on a school night, but they were gracious as ever. The next day, I drove levee roads through the delta to get back home. Passing through Isleton (population 923, elveation 8) we parked in front of the police and fire station. The dull moment came as we walked the 200 feet of Isleton's downtown. We turned back to Isleton Joe's where we had lunch.

Apparently having had enough "dull," I ordered a crawdad melt sandwich. I liked it.

What is affordable urban permaculture housing?

Objective: Founding an investment and development company to acquire under-utilized investment properties of 2 to 6 units per building and retrofitting and rehabilitating them using sweat equity, green building and urban permacultural principles into "seeds" for eco-villages.

We combine expertise from the worlds of green building and architecture, relocalization, social activism and sustainability, rehabilitating distressed investment properties into cores for community-centered living, reshaping the urban environment and offering solutions to issues as small as affluenza to as large as global climate change.

Urban permaculture points the way to creating a secure, environmentally sound, and socially just housing model for owner-tenants who are yearning for affordable housing.
